Trade unions can use the Free Interpreting Service to access interpreting services delivered by TIS National, including:

• immediate phone interpreting
• pre-booked phone interpreting
• pre-booked on-site interpreting.

Immediate phone interpreting is most useful for unplanned interactions. It provides:

• access to more than 2700 interpreters in more than 150 languages
• interpreting services 24 hours a day 7 days a week
• connection to an interpreter within a few minutes of calling
• Pre-booked phone interpreting is useful for planned interactions, such as member meetings or events, or if you need to request a less common language.

When phone interpreting is not suitable, TIS National can arrange an interpreter to arrive onsite for a face-to-face appointment. This may be important when you have a group of people needing the same language interpreter, when you are discussing complex ideas or when you anticipate that the appointment will go for an extended period of time. On-site interpreter bookings must be for a minimum of 90 minutes.
